I don’t think they care. Do it at your own risk. Make sure to give yourself time to study.

With that being said, it is a company policy to not fly for hire outside of Republic. I'm not going to advocate one way or the other on the subject, but remember a new hire has no protections from the union until their year mark when they come off probation and they could be terminated for any reason by the company.
Which is precisely why I specified a company policy with roots in Part 117 (and of course not their only reasoning for such a policy...), not a violation of the regulation itself. I think I was pretty clear, as is the policy. Again, was addressed specifically by management - starting day one, you’re employed. No outside flying. Asked and answered. End of the day, who cares if it’s Part 1234567. Company policy.

How does one want to start their 121 career?

You make a great point about lack of protection, but I implore anybody to not start off by thinking about what they can get away with because they’re protected vs. not... save that fun for later on when deciding whether or not to wear the hat with the blazer on

Look, I couldn't care less what rumor you or anybody else choose to believe. If you must know, the source was one of the Sr. VPs, that is all you are going to get out of me. The first 100 will be growth, not replacements.

I can vouch for that statement - senior leadership Q&A on our last day covered this question for our class.

Might sound like a dumb question but when studying flows were suppose to study both FO and Captain flows right?

Study flows for PF and PM. Studying captain flow might help a bit in the sim but don't do it at the expense of learning what you actually need to know.

You’ll be tested on FO flows only, so definitely focus on those. But, you’ll help your sim partner out if you can be a good captain when sitting in the left seat. I made a cheat sheet on my iPad with the major items in captain flows

Don’t drink that kookaid. Same leadership which said the pilots gotta sign that 2015 CBA or they’ll have to file bankruptcy. Guess what happened anyway......🙄

Don’t read into it. I’m vouching for his statement, not if management is being forthcoming or not. Just sharing that he didn’t pull it out of his %#%.
